I'll try to make the deadline, I'm pretty sure I can make it, but the map will turn out pretty lame in the end. But as of now I'm on track to finish on time.
is anyone else with me in that they'd rather wait a little longer to play solid & polished complete maps as opposed to hurried/untested entries ready for the end of the month?
just curious really.. i have no objections if the original deadline were to stick, but i'm happy with how mine is turning out & am not overly keen on the idea of rushing it over the next week, since there's still alot of detail & lighting work to be done. Id love to see better/more maps
if it really helps. cause maybe you`v givin up or too busy and 2 extra weeks wont make a difference Ill only be here for one of those two weeks, but an extra week will = one extra weeks worth of work for me.
Map would be better! (also Quoth/hipnotic rotating doors would be cool for floodgates :-( Bah! - Who needs sleep anyway!!! I can map 'till 4AM it seems, and still feel fine in the morning!
I wish.... (curls up in a ball on the floor in office at work, slips off whilst clutching the phone) I'm boned on this. Work is too heavy. Whenever the deadline is, I'll turn in what I have at that point. Don't wait for me. :) I'll do what I can until the buzzer sounds.
How shall the files be named? I'd suggest e*m*rmx_nickname.
Will there be a start map? Then we would have to set the changelevel right. Would be nice so people don't have to use the console. The drawback would be that the pack would need its own directory as the weapon removal is fixed for start.bsp in the qc, isn't it? All the 100brush packs did this too and I think it's nice. MaTi: A lot of maps. One and a half week is quite short for it though I guess. Maybe you could contribute a start map (see above)? :) You could make a simple start map called rmxstart which player could load manually after finishing a map. The remixed maps could still point to their regular follow-up levels. Probably better than a QC solution.
That would completely screw up any balance. Or did you guys all keep the map "enclosed" in terms of weapons and balance for follow-up levels?
I asked that earlier and was told that the remix map should be playable from a cold start - so include pickups for any weapons that the player will need for your map at the start.
should point to "e4m2" or whatever.
This way, all new maps could be placed in an "rmx" dir in the Quake dir, and renamed to "e4m1, e3m2, whatever", and players could play through Quake as normal, with the new maps replacing the id maps where possible... Weapons: in my maps there is an SSG, a Nailgun and a secret LG. Except for the secret LG, I think this is all of the weaponry that there is in the ID version... "and players could play through Quake as normal, with the new maps replacing the id maps where possible... "
Some maps are being duplicated aren't they? I think we have some overlap. Spirit e2m1
rj e2m5 headthump e2m7 Vigil e3m1 Scampie e3m3 Willem e3m4 Speeds e3m5 RickyT23 e4m1 Zwiffle e4m7 I just think that if you target the next level as the original map did, then the "RMX" collection could be played through as if it were a mod, it could be added to in the future without re-packaging... Although Im not the person to decide how to do it! :P ...an excellent addition to the pack! Who's gonna make one in 10 days?
The beauty of naming the maps "e2m1, e2m1" etc is that and additional maps would be compatible! Just whack them in "quake\rmx\maps", then all maps could be accessed from the Quake menu! Also any future maps could be added/replaced as and when the end user feels like it. If there are duplicate maps at some point then the player can choose which ones they want in their experience... Still I maintain that this is just what seems logical to ME, others may differ....?
